Stability and Reconstitution
Stability and Storage | Lyophilized proteins are stable for 1 year from the date of receipt if stored between (-20°C) and (-80°C). Upon reconstitution we recommend that the solution can be stored at (4°C) for short term or at (-20°C) to (-80°C) for long term. Repeated freeze thaw cycles should be avoided with reconstituted products. |
Reconstitution | Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the protein to 0.2 mg/mL in sterile 1x PBS pH 7.4 containing 0.1% endotoxin-free recombinant human serum albumin (HSA). Gently swirl or tap vial to mix. |

Background
IL-15 is a 4-α-helix bundle cytokine playing a pivotal role in stimulation of both innate and adaptive immune cells. It is produced primarily by keratinocytes, skeletal muscle cells, monocytes, and CD4+ T cells. It is a member of the common gamma chain family. The members of the common gamma chain family include the IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, and IL-21 and require binding to the common γ chain receptor for activation. It can be used in growth and maintenance of T and NK cells. It is also shown to be used in proliferation and functional effect of T cells for adoptive cell therapy. It is a glycosylated protein and HumanKine IL-15 appear as 12.5-25 kDa bands (PMID: 24587813, 26627006, 27849617, 31250350)
